Davos is in highest demand in winter, with the WEF in January and the Spengler Cup at the end of the year as highlights, and in summer hikers, bikers and congress guests come. As a holiday apartment management company, we let and manage apartments here on Airbnb, Booking.com and other platforms. Our own housekeeper is based directly in Davos, and we take care of each individual guest registration for you.

Demand in Davos: strong in winter, with events throughout the year
According to the federal hotel statistics, hotels in Davos recorded more than 810,000 overnight stays in 2025. Rooms were best occupied in February at 65 percent, in December at 64 and in January at 60 percent, and in summer in August at 55 percent. April and November are quiet, at 31 and 22 percent.
For your holiday apartment, this means: the winter months and the big events bring the highest prices, and summer a second season. We adjust prices continuously instead of working with a fixed annual price.
What owners in Davos need to know
Guest tax and registration obligation
Davos levies a guest tax under the guest tax act of the municipality (in German), collected by the Davos Destinations-Organisation. The rates are published by the destination. As of October 2026:
Guest tax in Davos | What applies |
|---|---|
Holiday apartments | CHF 5.90 per person and night, all year round |
Children up to 12 | exempt |
Own use | Mandatory annual flat fee for owners and their family, depending on the beds and living rooms of the apartment |
Registration obligation | Register each guest's arrival within 24 hours using the official form, and the departure immediately |
Listings | Every listing states the apartment's registration number or its full address |
Fines | Violations cost up to CHF 10,000 |
Davos tightened the obligations on registration numbers and platforms in 2025. We take care of the registration, the settlement and the details in the listings for you.
Second homes
Davos has a share of second homes of around 59 percent, according to the housing inventory of the Federal Office for Spatial Development. This means the Second Homes Act applies: new second homes are no longer approved. For existing apartments, it depends on when they were approved:
Apartment | What applies to letting |
|---|---|
Old law: already existed or approved on 11 March 2012 | Free in the type of use: use it yourself and let it as a holiday apartment, unless the canton or municipality provides otherwise |
Newer, noted as a primary residence | May not be used as a holiday apartment |
Newer, noted as a tourist-managed apartment | Must be offered permanently and exclusively for short-term use by guests, on terms that are customary for the market and the place |
We are happy to clarify with you whether and how your apartment may be let before you start: with our location review.
